How to Consume the Input Message
The input message is exposed as a DJMessage data type within DataConnect.
You must initialize the DJMessage to be able to run a transformation or process within another process (that is, as a transformation step or subprocess).
Dim inputMsg as DJMessage
Set inputMsg = FindMessage("inputData") //This needs to match the "messagename" query parameter
If inputMsg is Nothing then
    Set inputMsg = new DJMessage "inputData"
End If
LogMessage("INFO", inputMsg.body)
Once initialized, the message can be consumed as a Map source file or Component input message through the djmessage:///{messagename} protocol.
djmessage:///inputData
